If you walked the gangway, up is, of course, better than down, and if it was a level one you crossed, progress is indicated, but you will first have to cope with some reactivated enmity from the past
Gangway
This passageway in your dream represents a period of transition in your life, and if the surroundings were gay and happy (as for instance a cruise or holiday atmosphere), you can expect the future to be much easier than the past; however, if the general atmosphere was one of worry or distress (as with emigrants), you can expect some difficulties in making the change.
